Toni, will check out your info on Feb 1st. The Peterborough Public Library
will no doubt have the info you need. Will try to get it there. If not the
Peterborough Examiner may have the records. Will have to sit down and send
you the info I have on the family. My grandfather was one of 11 children
born to a couple in a small town of Upper Geislittle near Thurso in
Scotland. Will provide more specifics in the future. One thing though, we
have learned from a cousin who at the time still lived at the homestead
(named Merle Sinclair) that the family believed my grandfather came to
Canada and my great Aunt (not sure which daughter) went to live in
Bedfordshire England. But it was the other way around and apparently the
great aunt was eventually living out in Alberta some where. Later, Brian
